The Genesis Framework

Genesis is Search Engine Optimized

You put a lot into your site — you want to make sure that you’re ranking well in the search engines so readers, customers, and clients can find you. And clean, optimized code is important for achieving the best rankings possible. State of the art code and smart design architecture make it easy for search engines to see what you’ve got. With automatic updates to the Genesis Framework, you never have to think about it again. Your code will always be up to date and fully optimized.

Genesis Offers Great-Looking Turn-Key Designs

You want sleek, professional design — without paying a fortune for it. The 31 Genesis turn-key designs give you an array of beautiful frames for your content. And of course, they’re constantly adding to your design options. The way your site looks can be instantly updated by what’s called a child theme, while all of the SEO benefits and the core Genesis functionality remain untouched. That means that changing the look of your site is a snap — and you don’t need a designer or developer to do it. If you decide to pick up the StudioPress Pro Plus All-Theme Package, you’ll also get access to all 31 child themes offered now AND every child theme created in the future — at no additional cost!

Genesis Gives You State-of-the-Art Security

WordPress sites can be vulnerable to those who want to take your site down or exploit it for malicious reasons. Having your site hacked is an expensive, time-consuming hassle — and it can really damage your reputation. StudioPress brought security expert and core WordPress developer Mark Jaquith in to make sure the Genesis Framework had the best security possible. With his help, they built their framework to follow all WordPress security best practices.

Genesis Lets You Update Your Site Instantly

Many sites are hacked (or just don’t use WordPress to the fullest) because they haven’t been updated. And blog owners don’t update because sometimes it can feel pretty complicated. Many WordPress users have spent hours or days fixing a problem created by updating to the latest version of the software.

StudioPress makes updating to the current version of WordPress and Genesis a snap. Everything is integrated, so you don’t have to call your developer. StudioPress tests all updates thoroughly, so you’re not playing guinea pig — just click the button and you’re done.

And if you’ve got multiple sites, you’ll love the way that the framework works with turn-key child theme designs to keep the look of your site exactly the way you want it, but lets you quickly update the important code that runs in the background.
